Let’s study them one by one and try to discuss some questions in group of four.Picture 1What kind of TV do you have at home？What differences can you find between the TV in your home and the TV in this picture？(Early TV had antennae on top. The screen was very small and could show only black-and-white pictures. The size of the TV was small compared with modern TV，and usually it looked like a wooden box. Early TV also did not have a remote control. The control panel was on one side of the screen.)What kind of pictures did early TV have？(Early TV had black-and-white pictures that were fuzzy.)What other functions do you need in a modern TV？Picture 2What did people need when they wanted to record music in the past？(Tapes and a tape recorder.)How did people record music in the past？(People put the tapes into the recorder，then played the tape with music at one side and pushed the play and record buttons at the other side to record the music onto the blank tape.)Look at the picture.

The music will then be digitalized in and played by an MP Player. )Picture 3How do you look up a word in a paper dictionary？(The words in a paper dictionary are arranged in alphabetical order from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. We need to look at the first letter of the word and use it to search in the dictionary. If two words start with the same letter，we look at the second letter to decide the alphabetical order. If the first and second letters are the same，we look at the third letter and so on.)How many of you have an electronic dictionary？How do you look up a word in such a dictionary？(We key in the word we want to look up and cli ck the button ‘Enter’. Then the word entry will appear on the screen.)Besides the dictionary，what else can be stored in your electronic dictionary？(There can be a calendar，a list of addresses and phone numbers，memos or a clock. More recent electronic dictionaries have large memory space and some can be used as electronic books with hundreds of books stored inside.)Which do you prefer，an electronic book or a traditional paper book？Why？Picture 4How did people keep in touch in the past？(People sent letters in the past，but letters wereslow，and they took from a few days to several months to arrive. Then people invented the telegraph，but the telegraph could send only short sentences. Later，people could communicate via telephone，but the disadvantage was that not everyone had a telephone. Now，people use e-mails to communicate. E-mails are quick，but people without computers and access to the Internet cannot send e-mails. Today，most people use mobile phones to keep in touch with others. The size of a mobile phone is small so people can carry one in a pocket and receive and make calls wherever they are and whenever it is.)What recent developments have been made to mobile phones？(Now，mobile phones have more and more functions. They can send text messages. They can also be used as a digital camera to take still or even moving pictures. People can send the pictures they take to other mobile phones or e-mail addresses. Mobile phones can be connected to the Internet and people can look at web pages with mobile phones. More technologically advanced mobile phones can receive TV signals so that people can watch live TV programmes on their mobile phones.)It is reported that many high school students bring mobile phones to their schools.
